About Cristian Iordan

Cristian Iordan is a California-licensed LMFT with a background in both clinical and spiritual care. Trained at Loma Linda University and ordained as a minister, he has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings with adolescents and adults facing a wide range of mental health concerns. With 15 years of experience, he brings a blend of clinical training and pastoral sensitivity to work with anxiety, depression, premarital concerns, and spirituality- and religion-related issues.

Cristian describes therapeutic change as an effort that can be challenging yet ultimately rewarding - like a workout where initial effort gives way to a lasting sense of healing. He supports clients through that process by offering steady guidance and practical strategies while honoring each person’s pace and values. As an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - he emphasizes relational patterns, family dynamics, and the ways personal history shapes current functioning.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach that combines evidence-based techniques with attention to meaning, faith, and life transitions. Cristian aims to help people cultivate skills for coping, strengthen their relationships, and explore sources of purpose and renewal throughout the healing journey.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps people develop practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching structured techniques for thinking and problem solving. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It is useful for people who struggle with intense emotions, relationship challenges, or patterns of impulsive behavior. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions in relational contexts and is aimed at improving attachment, intimacy, and communication within couples and families.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cristian Iordan collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. As a licensed professional, he works with clients to adapt techniques and pace the work in a way that feels manageable and meaningful.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety of formats allows therapy to fit into busy schedules, to continue during life transitions, and to reach people who live far from in-person services, all while maintaining ongoing continuity of care.
